IMPROVEMENT IN THE MANUFACTURE OFITUBULAR CANDLES.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent dnd making part of the, lame.

To ullzto whom these presents shall come:

Be it known that I, FREEMAN AUGUSTUS TABER, of Boston, in the county of Sutolk and State ot' Massachusetts, have made an invention of a new and useful or Improved Manufacture of Tubular Wickless Candles; and do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof', due reference heinghad to the accompanying drawings making part of this specification, and in which- Figure 1 is a perspective View, and

Figure 2, a longitudinal sect-ion of a` candle embody- Y ing my invention,

Figure 3 being a cross-sectional view of the same.

, This invention relates to candles for use in mechanical Candlesticks, or, more properly vspeaking, lamps,

similar to such as are `exhibited in Letters Patent No. 89,811 of the United States, and issued tome, FREE- MAN AUGUSTUS TABER, on the 4th day of May, 1,869, as well as in an application for a patent, tiled by Thomas Scott Williams and FREEMAN AUGUSTUS TABER, recently, and in which an independent fiat wick is employed, to obtaina large amount of light.

As such a construction of lamp requires, as stated, a tint wick, and as such wick is operated lmechanically within au analogous-shaped tube, inserted within the candle, it results thatll must employ a tubular candle, with an orifice or bore to correspond 'to and coincide with the fhrln of the wick-tube, since the-latter, under certain conditions, is moved 'up and down within such bore, and the candle is moved up and down over such tube or wick, or both.

To this end I produce a candle of ordinary form, with the exception that I create .longitudinally oiaxially through the same a passage or horefwhich is attened or oblong in cross-section, as shown at a in f
